October DATAFEST 2015 - Challenges
The October DATAFEST is an event held since 2011 by the DATA organization (Open Data, Transparency and Access to Information), a type of Hackathon for the creation of social apps based on open data for resolution or visibility of social issues. In 2015, for the first time, the so-called "Challenges" were included in the program. The idea is to co-create solutions between public bodies and the volunteer groups participating in the DATAFEST. The agencies propose challenges and give relevant information in addition to the support of experts and participants in trying to develop a digital tool, such as an app. This was established according to DATA to give the projects a better sustainability and a better impact.
Institutional design
Formalization: is the innovation embedded in the constitution or legislation, in an administrative act, or not formalized at all?
Frequency: how often does the innovation take place: only once, sporadically, or is it permanent or regular?
Mode of Selection of Participants: is the innovation open to all participants, access is restricted to some kind of condition, or both methods apply?
Type of participants: those who participate are individual citizens, civil society organizations, private stakeholders or a combination of those?
Decisiveness: does the innovation takes binding, non-binding or no decision at all?
Co-governance: is there involvement of the government in the process or not?
